Question

Im 23 weeks tomorrow and I've been having what feels like cramping since last night, is this normal?

I started feeling what could be cramping but also maybe gas right before i went to bed last night around 11:30 and I still feel this today at 9:30. I have passed plenty of gas and have had a BM and I still feel this way. This morning it feels more like menstrual cramping. I'm 23 weeks tomorrow, could this be my uterus stretching more? The cramping isnt painful but its been the strongest ive had since being pregnant and its distracting.

Mom Answers

I'm right behind you. I'll be 23 weeks on Monday and I've been getting little cramps here and there. From what I've researched online, its completely normal to be feeling these cramps right now because between 22 and 25 weeks baby should double in size from 1lb to 2lbs which means our uterus is stretching pretty quickly. I wouldn't be concerned but maybe address it to your doctor at your next visit. :)
